This looks moderate but DUTY DANCE can send punters home happy. Michael O'Connor's mare landed a point at Dromahane in April and made a bold bid to make all on her bumper debut at Ballinrobe on the first day of this month. She kept on when headed at the furlong pole and should have benefited from the experience. Baresi looks an obvious threat as John Long's son of Milan has run well enough in his three starts to date though he has never faced ground this quick. Jack The Pirate probably has scope for improvement but a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of All For Free, who made a promising debut behind Tus Nua at Killarney last month.
